//------------------------------// // The Encounter // Story: Cozy's Paw Patrol // by Tidal Wave2 //------------------------------// Cozy and the Paw Patrol sped towards the airport. They knew they had to be ready in case they ran into the Mane 6. Chase was in front of the group, checking his surroundings for any signs that they weren't alone. When they entered the airport, Chase tapped his collar to contact Ryder. "Okay Ryder, we're at the airport. What now?" "According to the computer, the jet is on the other side of the airport." Ryder answered. "I think just in case, you should all split into groups." Ryder began to plan who should go where. "Chase and Cozy, you two go down the main area. Rocky, you and Skye move in the shadows. Tracker and Everest, you two go through the lobby. Rubble, Zuma and Marshall will head to the shipping area." The pups all got in their respective groups and went to their designated areas. Later, Cozy and Chase were running down the center of the main area, passing multiple vehicles that weren't right for their plan. "Okay Ryder," Cozy began. "how far is the jet?" "You're about halfway." Ryder answered. "If you continue down that path, you'll probably arrive in about 8 minutes." Suddenly, Ryder's computer began to flash. "Uh oh." "What is it?" Chase asked. "Um, I think you guys are about to have company." Chase quickly looked around for anyone nearby. Suddenly, a green flame came from above and struck the ground several feet away from Chase and Cozy. When the flame died out, two creatures landed 10 feet away from them. One was a lavender alicorn, and the other was a purple dragon. Twilight and Spike. "Wow, it's weird how you run into people at the airport. Isn't it?" Twilight asked. "Super weird." Spike responded. "Are these two some of them?" Chase asked Cozy. "Yes, they're Princess Twilight and Spike." "Huh, so dogs really do talk here." Spike said amazed. "Cozy," Twilight began. "I know that we're the last people you want to trust right now, but you have to come with us. Your life is in danger." "Yeah, because you and your friends are gonna take it!" "No Cozy," Spike said. "Celestia told us to find you and bring you back to Equestria. But if we don't do it in time, Celestia will hunt you down and execute you." "You two need to stand aside." Chase said sternly. "That's an order from an officer!" "That's no way to speak to a princess." Chase and Cozy turned to see a blue pegasus fly in. "Cozy." "Rainbow." Cozy responded. "This is her?" Chase asked. "Wow, she's fancy." Rainbow blushed as Spike laughed at the comment. "I think the word you're searching for is 'radical'." Rainbow corrected. "Anyway, Celestia gave us 48 hours to bring you in. That was 16 hours ago. Care to help a group out?" "You're all insane if you think for a second that I'd come with you, after everything you put me through." Cozy said. "Cozy," The group turned to see a white unicorn with a purple mane. "you know what could happen dear. Do you really want to fight your way out of this?" Cozy just stood there, glaring at Rarity. "Alright, that's it." Rainbow said. "Wait! We have to-" Spike started, but was interrupted when Rainbow Dash shouted. "Wonder colt!" Suddenly, a chain snapped onto Cozy's back, restraining her wings. Cozy and Chase looked up to see what did that. Standing on top of a generator, was a dark green colt with a brown mane and tail. He was wearing a black mask, blue hoof gloves, and a red cape. "Nice job kid." "Thanks." The colt said. "I mean, I could've stuck the landing a little bit better, but I was trying to-" "Yeah, we don't need to start another conversation, Humdrum." Spike said. Cozy couldn't believe what she just heard. The Humdrum? Of the Power Ponies? "You've been busy." Cozy said. "I should say the same thing about you." Twilight said. "Socializing with a group puppy Avengers." "Avengers?" Chase asked. "Most people compare us to the Power Rangers." "Cozy please." Twilight started. "It really is for your own safety, that you come with us. I'm trying to keep you out of danger." "You failed to do that when I was your student." Cozy's comment made Twilight feel guilty inside. Then, Chase heard Skye's voice coming from his pup-tag. "Chase, we found it. The jet is in hanger 7, North from your location." Chase grinned and looked at the ponies and dragon. He then stomped his paw, and a pair of glowing green scissors appeared, cutting Cozy's wing restraints. "Now Tuck!" Chase shouted. "Tuck? Who's Tu-" Humdrum never finished. He grunted as a powerful kick struck him at the bottom of his jaw. He fell back from the strike, looking up to see what appeared to be something minuscule grow into something large, into something that of a regular-sized pup. It was a male Golden Retriever pup in a super suit. "W-W-What the hay was that!?" Spike said in shock. "Good work Tuck!" Chase said. "Thanks Chase." The pup turned to Cozy. "Nice to finally meet you Cozy Glow." "Is he one of the friends you called for backup." Cozy asked Chase. "Yup. Him and his twin sister." "Aw great!" Rainbow said in annoyance.
